Reply to comment by lastrice in Aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of metastatic cancer by 72%. According to the researchers, intensity aerobic exercise increases the glucose (sugar) consumption of internal organs, thereby reducing the availability of energy to the tumor. by Wagamaga
Sugar = 1glucose + 1 fructose, but the fructose molecule passes through the intestine as glucose.
Glucose is transformed into energy for cells; cancer cells need energy to grow and metastasize.
So we could sum it up for laypeople as "blood sugar helps cancer". However, lack of sugar is detrimental for the healthy tissues and cells, as they can't produce as much energy as needed to function correctly on the long term.

"You could assume by giving mice access to food 24h a day, they will eventually just be over fed."
Anyone that works with mice in animal facilities knows that's not true.

What, no diabetes? Hm...
Jokes aside, all the fancy, high IF journals publish research papers and reviews where authors blow up the discussions section like they found the one and only true cause/treatment of certain diseases.

Reply to comment by JanItorMD in Researchers have, for the first time, used CT scan to peer inside swarms of honeybees and found that the bees don’t clump together in a random group. Instead, they seem to form dome-shaped structures following surprisingly sophisticated mathematical rules, or what researchers call a “scaling law” by giuliomagnifico
"Getting bees to sit still for their X-rays took some work, noted Olga Shishkov, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in the Peleg Lab at BioFrontiers.
First, the researchers relied on honeybee queens to coax thousands of worker bees to join into swarms in the lab—these structures, which often hang upside-down, look a bit like a wriggly Jell-O mold. Then, the team rotated those swarms in front of a small CT machine originally developed for veterinary hospitals."

Or do they want slightly hypochondriac "patients"? Like people coming over for testing and insisting on more tests just to be sure.

Reply to comment by IamHereForBoobies in Researchers have identified different pathways that lower a mouse's desire to eat when it's in pain - and a similar brain circuit could also occur in humans by chrisdh79
It has to be CHRONIC pain, so think about developing a business plan around that.
